“We wanted to write this ebook to help researchers make informed decisions about how to track physical activity in their research projects. I have had to make a lot of data collection and analysis decisions in my own projects and I'm glad to share the insights I have learned along the way. I hope this ebook can help other researchers avoid common mistakes and thus perform better research."
